More Mi
Less Meat
Dr. Henry C. Sherman of Columbia University says: i 1
"We'are just emerging from a long period during which the food value
of milk has not been appreciated, while meat has been given a greatly ex
aggerated place, i
"Often milk has been spoken of as a 'meat substitute,' but now we know
that milk is ESSENTIAL, while meat is not, and that meat is but a partial
substitute for, milk.
' -"Milk, is an important source of energy, protein, mineral elements and
vitamines, and possesses unique value as a growth-promoting food.
""Not only is milk the most economical intrinsically ofUhe animal foods,
" but ol even greater interest is the positive demonstration, by fully controlled
experiments,; that a" liberal use of milk 1n the diet is the best safeguard
against -and decency which might possibly arise through restricted choice
of foods, and the safest way to insure that the consumption of enough food
to supply the energy needed shall meet all other requirements of nutrition
as well.
"A quart of milk contains more calcium than does a quart of clear sat
urated lime water.
. 'It ia lack of knowledge of food values and economic relationships
which leads consumers to demand so much meat and pay, such a price for
it that the farmer is compelled to convert into pork and beef a larger part
of his corn crop than the world can properly afford to have so used. More
of the corn crjp than at present should come directly into human consump
tion, to augment the bread supply; and, much of the corn which now goes
into the production of meat should be converted into milk instead. In
human' food produced per unit of feed consumed, the milch cow is several
times more efficient as a transformer of farm crops than is the animal fed
merely for slaughter, and in this country, an increased consumption of milk
Is needed on nutritional grounds,, while we could eat less meat and be quite
as well off.
. .
"The exaggerated place given to meat in our food budget and the high
price which consumers have to pay for it, together with the reluctance to
pay, the necessarily increased price of milk, have tended to depletion of
dairy herds through slaughter of actual and potential milch cows for beef or
veal".

NO CHANGE IN
OMAHA PRICES,
SAY RETAILERS
U. S. District Attorney to
Come Here Monday to Take
Charge of Food
Probe.
The arrival of United States Dis
trict Attorney Thomas Allen from
Lincoln next Monday morning, and
the early calling of a federal grand
jury are among the developments
in the local situation in connection
with the probe into food hoarding,
profiteering and other phases of the
high cost of living as a result of the
campaign by Ihe Bee.
J. J. Cameron, secretary of the
Retail grocers' association yester
day said: "I have made a canvass of
the situation and so tar as I could
learn there has been no change of
any kind in retail prices."
Few Reductions Noted.
Despite the statement of Mr.
Cameron advertisements of some of
the retail stores show there have
been a few reductions, although the
general price situation has not been
materially affected.
A downtown store advertised
steer pot roast two weeks ago at
22V, cents, as attainst lo'A cents
today. This store also has reduced
its price on prime roll ribbed roast
from ZlVt two weeks ago to 30 cents
and spring chickens from 4754 to
My within the two-week period
Details of what will be presented
to the federal grand jury in connec
tion with food hoarding will not be
disclosed by the local representaV
tives of the Department ot Justice.
As far as they will go in commiting
themselves is to say that they have
a lot of documents to offer and that
their agents are still in the field, oh
taining additional data. Witnesses
will be summoned to appear before
the grand jury. This session of the
federal grand jury ,will be the regu
lar call next month. No special ses
sion will be called for the food
probe, officials say.
Statement of Peterson.
Assistant United States Attorney
F. A. Peterson said:
"The Department of Justice has
been eivinsr its entire time to inves
tigating the food situation. You must
understand that we cannot outline
at this time what we have been do
tie. but I may say that our evi
dence will go before the federal
grand jury. District Attorney Allen
will be here next Monday morning."
'This office has nothing new to
give cut, but I can say that we are
investigating something which may
materialize when we have gone into
the matter thoroughly" said County
Attorney Sliotwell.
"I am of the opinion that the
probe which was started last Mon
day morning in the city council
chamber should be resumed without
further delay," said City Commis
sioner Butler. I have told the
mayor so and next Monday morn
ing, during the meeting ot the city
council committee of the whole, I
will insist that this probe shall be
resumed and that no further ad
journments shall be ordered until
we have completed the job. Let us
find out just where the blame rests
if it is possible for us to do so."
Passes the Buck.
Commenting on the situation,
Secretary Cameron of the retail
grocers, after stating that he had
been unable to find any reductions
of retail prices, added: "The whole
salers, jobbers, packers and manu
facturers have made no change of
prices to the retailers, so how could
you expect the retailers to cut
prices? The retailers are not created
fairly. The reductions in prices
must start from the other end, noc
with the retailers."
C. L. Porter of Courtney & Co.'s
store, was asked yesterday if he
knew of any reductions in retail
prices.
"I do not know of any reductions,
but I know that potatoes went up
cne-half a cent a pound on the
wholesale market today. Spuds have
been $4 per 100 pounds and now
we are paying $4.50 per hundred,"
he replied.
Mayor Smith's present efforts to
reduce the high cost of living are
confined to his municipal grocery
stores. The mayor is sanguine that
he will be able to effect material re
ductions in prices through the Qpera

The present cost of new

On the other hand, the clean
